As several have said this is the schedule of a team trying to guarantee a tourney appearance.

I actually love the schedule btw.

-Playing in the most prestigious Preseason tourney in the league
-4 cupcakes before and then 5 cupcakes after the Houston/Kansas/Tenn gauntlet before league play
-No more stupid ACC game in the middle of the non-con which we always lose
-Clemson ACC opener, they have to fly up to CNY New Years Eve.  We're gonna smoke them and then send them home that night :)/
-It's possible we can roll through all of Dec/Jan and stack a ton of wins.  
-Seems like more Saturday home games than in the past.
-After Tenn I think every game at the dome is winnable

Outside of the talent and then the coaching issues, the next major problem is the terrible play at the dome and zero momentum to start the season.  We have been stalled out in December before we even get to league play.

We've seen it over and over that in the NIL/Portal era that teams build momentum and get their fanbases invested in new faces on their team by blowing out teams at home in front of big crowds.  Even with the son of a legend on the team this year, no one is going to care about this team unless they crush some teams at the dome early on.  They haven't done that in a long time.
